INSTRUCTIONS

Step 5:

Pop the frozen molds under warm water for a few seconds, then gently slide the pops out and dig in right away.

Step 4:

Stick the pops in the freezer for at least four hours, or until they're nice and solid.

Step 3:

Spoon the cheesecake filling until molds are almost full, give each mold a tap to get rid of bubbles, finish with white chocolate if you like, then add the crunchy graham cracker topping.

Step 1:

Beat cream cheese so it's nice and smooth, mix in sugar and vanilla, then blend in sour cream and heavy cream. Last, fold in the crushed graham crackers.

Serving and Storage Tips

• If you don't have fancy molds, no worries—just use paper cups and some sticks for homemade pops.
• For an extra punch of berry, swirl in some strawberry puree to the filling before freezing.

Helpful Notes

• Try a squeeze of lemon in the filling for a tart kick.
• Pops will get even firmer if you leave them in the freezer overnight, or at least 6-8 hours.

Chef Hacks from Pros

• The best flavors happen if you use great vanilla and fresh berries—lots of pastry chefs swear by it.

Nailing Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Pops

To get smooth, layered pops, just make sure the cheesecake mix is lump-free and well stirred before you fill the molds. A stripe of melted white chocolate on top looks cool and adds a sweet finish.

Making It Your Own

Mix things up—swap out the fruit for raspberries or blueberries, or use crushed digestive biscuits instead of graham crackers to change up the texture.

FAQs

Is it okay to swap in other fruits for the crunchy outside?

Definitely, go for berries like blueberries, raspberries, or even chunks of mango.

How do I make them if I can't have dairy?

Pick up dairy-free cream cheese, swap the heavy cream for coconut cream, and use plant-based butter for the crumb layer.

Can I throw stuff into the cheesecake mix?

Yeah, toss in some mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts if you want more bite or flavor.

How long can I keep these pops in the freezer?

They'll keep for up to two weeks in a tightly closed container in your freezer.
